As with any wood wind instrument that requires a mouthpiece, a contrabass clarinet mouthpiece is needed to make the clarinet produce sound. If you have one of these clarinets you will surely know which size is needed for your clarinet. You might be surprised to find out that there are other types of clarinet mouthpieces that might work just as well and will offer a different tone to your music. Just like different sizes of guitar strings will produce a different sound so will these different kinds of mouthpieces.

Most contrabass clarinet mouthpiece sets that you can find will contain reeds that will fit the mouthpiece. This is great if you use a regular reed, but if you use a different type of reed for your own personal sound, then you will probably not want to get a set. If your reed type is not part of a mouthpiece set, then you will be able to either find a reed that fits or change your mouthpiece. They are reasonably priced and you can find them at most larger instrument stores or online.

If you have a special contrabass clarinet mouthpiece and it is not something that is mass produced, but instead made specifically for you and your clarinet, then you will probably have a very hard time with finding mouthpieces, reeds, or anything else that might need to be replaced. In this case, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your specific clarinet or find somewhere online that specializes in your specific type of instrument.

Sites online are popping up all over and most of these places have been in business long before the internet was popular. Many of these types of specialist stores have been around for years but it was not until the introduction of the internet that they actually became known to the general public. Like all specialists they tend to serve a smaller group of people rather than the entire public. Being someone that uses a unique clarinet would mean that you would know about them, if you lived in that town or city. Now anyone can find a contrabass clarinet mouthpiece or any other type they need.
